To all whomit may concern: I

Be it known that I, LOUIS E. SADLnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Attleboro, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Finger Rings,

of which the following is a specification.

This invention relatesto certain new and useful improvements in finger rings and the primary object thereof is to provide a ring the body of which is formed of an integral member connected to form the bezel by means which also function to hold or assist in holding the stone-or gem in position.

A further object of the invention is to provide a ring structure which'can be economically produced and wherein the parts may be easily and quickly assembled.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a ring structure wherem the aforesaid holding means do not detract from the appearance of the ring and which.

enable san ie topossess the same generalconventional effect or appearance common to linger rings as customarily produced.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of a ring constructed in accordance with the present invention. I

Figure 2 is an end elevation;

Figure 3 is a section on lineB-3 of Figure 1;

Figure 4 is a plan view of the blan Figure 5 is a similar view of one of the connections and Figure 6 is a side elevation showing a modilied form of connector between the adjacent ends of one side of the bezel forming parts of the main blank. 1

In proceeding in accordance with the present invention a blank is employed which consists of a central bar 1 forming the usual linger loop and end bars 2 centrally connected to the ends of the barl by flared parts. 3. Each end of the bar 2 has an opening a thereon. The blank is bent into the shape shown in Figures 1-3 of the drawings and with the bars 2 forming the bezel, the bar ends abutting as shown in Fig ure 3.

The bar ends are secured together by means of connectors or clamps 5 which latter extend across the lines of abutment ot with integral fingers 6 that extend through the respective openings 4 at the adjacent ends of the bars 2 and are bent so as to lie clinched against the inner faces of the ends .of the bars 2. The clamps 5 are provided with prongs 7 which latter may be of any desired number, Figure 5 illustrat- 1ng a pair of prongs, while Figure 6 illustrates but one prong.

Likewise thebezel- I forming bars or parts 2 may be provided with similar prongs 8, and 9. This Figure 1, illustrates three prongs on a side of the bezel, while Figured illustrates a prong 9 on the ends of the parts 2., In this regard it should be understood however that the arrangement and number of. the prongs both as to the bezel and the clamps may vary as desired, and similarlythe shape of the bezel may likewise vary as desired to suit the taste and to accommodate stones or gems of varying shapes. The clamps thus function in a dual manner, namely they connect the ends of the bezel-forming members together, and also assist in securement of the gem'inthe bezel by virtue of the prongs carried thereby.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1 1. In a finger ring, a body composed of a finger loophavmg integral members at its ends arranged to abut and conjointly.

form' a bezel, the ends of said members having apertures and clamps having prongs arranged to bridge the lines of abutment of the members and having fingers extending through the apertures and. clinched to the nien'ibers in engagen'ient withthe inner faces thereof. I 7
